Placement of Loading Stations for Electric Vehicles: No Detours Necessary!

2015

Author(s): Funke S, Nusser A, Storandt S

 In this paper, the authors consider the problem of placing as few loading stations as possible so that on any shortest path there are sufficiently many not to run out of energy. The authors show how to model this problem and introduce heuristics which provide close-to-optimal solutions even in large road networks.
